Save the date

I recently received a 'save the date' card for a wedding.  I'd never seen one before; it's like a pre-invitation.  A few weeks later the 'real' invitation arrived in the mail, but this card was so lovely that I couldn't just throw it away.  (I'm such a hoarder!)

Craft Hoarders Anonymous has a sketch challenge with a twist this week which I thought was just perfect for putting this layout together:



The 'twist' is to use something old and something new together.

> Most of the products on my layout are old - including the buttons from my stash, the border strips and the flocked flourish, which I fussy-cut from a left-over piece of GCD Studios Paris Nights patterned paper [flashback to 2009].
> The new items are the black lace (from the January Scraps of Darkness kit), the peach paper flowers, and the Chic Tags journalling tab.





I'm also submitting this at Scrapbook Fantasies for the challenge to create a layout about a wedding.  Unfortunately I don't have any actual wedding photographs, but hopefully this will fit the bill.

Materials:
Echo Park Victoria Gardens - Wild Rose patterned paper
GCD Studios Paris Nights - Notre Dame border strips
GCD Studios Paris Nights - Louvre flocked patterned paper
